Prime Minister Justin Trudeau香蕉视频直播檚 comments likening Kamala Harris香蕉视频直播檚 election loss to an attack on women香蕉视频直播檚 rights and progress earned him criticism from the country香蕉视频直播檚 premiers and from American billionaire Elon Musk on Wednesday.
Speaking on Tuesday night at an event hosted by the Equal Voice Foundation 香蕉视频直播� an organization dedicated to improving gender representation in Canadian politics 香蕉视频直播� Trudeau said there are regressive forces fighting against women香蕉视频直播檚 progress.
香蕉视频直播淚t shouldn香蕉视频直播檛 be that way. It wasn香蕉视频直播檛 supposed to be that way. We were supposed to be on a steady, if difficult sometimes, march towards progress,香蕉视频直播� Trudeau said, adding he is a proud feminist and will always be an ally.
香蕉视频直播淎nd yet, just a few weeks ago, the United States voted for a second time to not elect its first woman president. Everywhere, women香蕉视频直播檚 rights and women香蕉视频直播檚 progress are under attack. Overtly, and subtly.香蕉视频直播�
In a post on X on Wednesday, Musk responded to Trudeau香蕉视频直播檚 remarks, saying, 香蕉视频直播淗e香蕉视频直播檚 such an insufferable tool. Won香蕉视频直播檛 be in power for much longer.香蕉视频直播�
The comments also didn香蕉视频直播檛 sit well with the country香蕉视频直播檚 premiers, with whom Trudeau and several cabinet ministers met late Wednesday to discuss Canada香蕉视频直播檚 approach to negotiations with the U.S.
Incoming president Donald Trump has threatened Canada with a 25 per cent tariff on its imports to the United States unless the country meets his demands to improve security at the border.
The Liberal government has been urging the premiers and opposition leaders alike to present a united 香蕉视频直播淭eam Canada香蕉视频直播� front to the Americans.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who chairs the Council of the Federation, said the premiers let Trudeau know his comments were 香蕉视频直播渘ot helpful at all.香蕉视频直播�
香蕉视频直播淒onald Trump was elected democratically,香蕉视频直播� Ford said. 香蕉视频直播淚f you like him or you don香蕉视频直播檛 like him, that香蕉视频直播檚 not our issue.香蕉视频直播�
He added that he香蕉视频直播檚 sure Trudeau 香蕉视频直播済ot the message loud and clear.香蕉视频直播�
When asked about Ford香蕉视频直播檚 criticism after the meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said in French that Trudeau has always been a champion of women in politics.
Earlier this week, Trump taunted Trudeau on social media, referring to the prime minister as the governor of what he called the 香蕉视频直播淕reat State of Canada.香蕉视频直播�
The post was an apparent reference to a joke Trump cracked at a dinner with Trudeau at his Mar-a-Lago estate nearly two weeks ago.
In response to Trudeau香蕉视频直播檚 concerns that a 25 per cent tariff would deal a massive blow to Canada香蕉视频直播檚 economy, the president-elect teased that Canada could join the U.S. as its 51st state.
He later posted an AI-generated image on social media of himself standing atop a mountain with a Canadian flag flying, with the caption 香蕉视频直播淥h Canada.香蕉视频直播�
